A semi tractor-trailer that made an illegal left turn was responsible for a three-vehicle accident that left one of the vehicles upside-down and on fire downtown Tuesday morning, Cincinnati police say.

Richard Rutledge of Florida was operating the semi when, at 10:42 a.m., he and his truck made a left turn onto Broadway from Third Street, where left turns are not permitted, police say.
